It depends on what you define under being 'in the band'. She talks about them in the third person. ' They record too slow'. She is not in the band. Not since 1982.

Wouldn't go by years. How many of those years where they were "in the band" was their actually stuff done? If we're going to go by seniority then we should count only the years where there was realistic band activity.

John

yup. years when you were nominally in the band just to hold it on the back burner and stalling getting anything done?

agree. in Nicks' own words:

"When [John McVie] got cancer, we had to cancel our tour of Australia. I had some free time, and I thought, "Maybe I should make a record."
.....
[Fleetwood Mac couldn't record 17 songs in 15 months.]
They couldn't, not even if you offered them $5 million apiece. In Fleetwood Mac, I play them a demo, and someone says, "That's great, but why don't we work on that second verse?" I might say, "Are you crazy?" or I might say, "That's a good idea." You mull it over.
.....
[Is there relief in doing a solo album, rather than going through the democratic process of Fleetwood Mac? In a band, you have to ask others "What do you think?" and then pretend you care.]
Right. Because you don't really care. You're asking people to give you an opinion, just so you'll be able to say, "I totally disagree with you, and I know I'm right. But I'm glad to hear how you feel."

note: no mention of contractual obligation anymore. just had some free time. time when FM wanted her in the studio with them.

she doesn't want their opinions.

meanwhile *they* recorded like 15 new songs in about 2 months.

I agree on recording to slow.That one of their major holdups.I hope they will do the new album fast pronto like Stevie did with 24K.
